WEEK 3

WEEK 3

[It has begun. With the death of the Spinner and the execution of the Indulgent, they remaining Titled will be plagued once more by vivid dreams. And just as last week, they are awoken by the sounds of doors creaking open.

Just like last week. But no one had died last week. Right? No one had been subjected to that...thing.

And yet the strange, cold feeling of foreboding remains. And it is certainly most worrisome to those living in rooms 3, 4, 6, and 15. Those who pass by room 7 and 8 will feel that same, worrisome feeling of foreboding as well.

What will they wake up to find? Who knows, now. If dragons are real, anything is possible.

There are thirteen strangers in this place.]

I think I'm gonna try. Maybe if I write in a journal, myself...

[zephyranthe]

[That's true... they've been finding a lot of people's journals around, haven't they? It's oddly convenient...]

Maybe we should all try to keep a record, then. Might be easier for everyone to put stuff together that way.

[Ordinarily she would shrug off the effort needed to write a journal, but after this whole 'you kind of doomed everyone' fiasco, she's willing to give it a shot if everyone thinks it'll help.]

[carries_war]

Yeah. And if anyone finds anything else weird, they should write about it. It'll make it less likely we'll forget stuff at the next meeting.

I guess we'll just have to hope McBum doesn't stumble over anything important that nobody else sees...

[zephyranthe]

[McBum............ okay hearing an immature nickname like that for one of Ouroboros Enforcers is kind of funny actually.]

We can always try and bug him.

...But I wonder if our journals will disappear if they get zapped over there.

[Although she doesn't remember the pie disappearing, but it's not like she stuck around all night to see what Eric did with it either.]

[carries_war]

With what? Not like we have any technology here.

I guess we'll see about the journals, though.

[zephyranthe]

? Why would you need technology to just pester him?

[They could knock his door several times a day or something?! Or send him a shitload of letters to jam his door. The possibilities are endless.]

Yeah. It'd be pretty inconvenient if stuff disappeared when you were wearing them too.

[She has stuff in her pockets that she wants to keep on her person, dammit.]

[carries_war]

Oh, I thought you meant 'bug' as in put something on him so we'd know if he found anything. But annoying him into actually cooperating might work, since pointing out that he has just as much stake in this as us apparently didn't.

[zephyranthe]

If we'd gotten something like that from the coin guy, it'd be convenient, but unless he likes talking to himself, I dunno how much that'd help anyways.

...He likes fighting, too. Maybe we can have someone reward him for helping by sparring with him.

[Why is she suddenly treating McBurn like a particularly lazy pet......]

[carries_war]

Oh, yeah, I fought him a couple days ago. He's pretty good, I wouldn't mind doing that again.

[zephyranthe]

[Hmm, that's a bit of a surprise. She doesn't think she'd match up to an Enforcer too well herself, so she wouldn't have wanted to volunteer unless no one else was willing to fight him.]

Who won?

[From what McBurn told her, he only likes challenging fights, so even if Rubedo had fun with it, that didn't necessarily mean McBurn would be interested.]

[carries_war]

It's hard to say, since we didn't get to finish and it was pretty close when Sparkles showed up and interrupted us.

[zephyranthe]

Oh. Well, maybe he's willing to give it another shot, then. And at worst, maybe someone could tag team with you.
